Equals a big life of happiness.

Did you ever run across a recipe in an odd random place that made you pause and wonder if it could really really be that simple? Well, while planning out my usual busy week in my day book, I glanced at the colorful “tips and tidbits” section included in the margins and noticed something that stopped me cold…was it really that easy to make a creampuff? I mean there are like only four ingredients listed. It can’t be. But it was. Are you doubtful? Try it for yourself!

Sometimes I look to the news and see that the world around me has given up on the concept of lasting romance. It is considered a quaint, old-fashion notion, not modern or even obtainable in this age. In our throwaway society no one wants to bother to work through the hard patches…you simply pack up and move on. This book shines a light in our romance deprived world by giving us wonderful examples of real couples who have weathered the storms of life together. The book never claims to have the magic formula to an easy married life,but it does show how intentional and focused attention to troubles can lead to even stronger bonds. Lastly, the importance of faith in these relationships is woven throughout the book. A wonderful read for Valentine’s Day.

I never really know what to do with Valentine’s Day…I like red things but I’m not fond of pink (outside the Princess’s bedroom). I like sweets, but I don’t own any heart shaped baking dishes. I’m really uncomfortable with the thought of a small naked Cupid shooting me with an arrow…it just sounds creepy. But enter into the picture a cute little pre-K girl who adores pink and ruffles and loves her friends and teachers. A great deal of time was spent in the CVS card aisle selecting just the perfect set of cards to exchange at school…the stakes are pretty high, people! Maybe a little bit of Valentine seeped into me because I was suddenly inspired to create a Valentine mantel display…and yes, it has ruffles, pink and and cute cards..the Princess approved.
